The Mets have inquired about Mark Buehrle, according to an official with one of the teams, but that's nothing new. They've been after Buehrle for the past two off-seasons and unable to get him. The official, who requested anonymity because he's not allowed to discuss impending deals publicly, said the White Sox don't believe they can sign Buehrle after this season and would like to get something for him now. The Mets believe, according to an official with one of the teams, that Brad Lidge would be happy in a setup role for closer Billy Wagner, since Wagner was a mentor to him when Wagner was in Houston.
